The cute child star with the

as "Giida."
Films Immoral
' People are so amazed to hear
I went from movies into bur
lesque.'' admitted Shirley Jean,
or Gilda. as she sat in her mod
est dressing room backstage of
the grind house on ?.Iain st.
"Well, I'll tell you. I prefer
burlesque because it's not so im
moral as the movie business.
'"Hollywood has turned into a
rougher game than ever. Every
girl is fair game. In the stripping
profession, you get somewhere
through your talent, not through
somebody you're friendly with.
When you get on that runway
you have to hold your audience
or you're a dead pigeon.
'"I'm making more money than
I did in movies. I like live audi
ences and I want to be a star.
Burlesque is the only field of
live show business left that you
can't see on TV."
Shirley Jean says she's 24 now.
She was a star of "Our Gang"
for five years, along with Spanky
McFarland recently seen on the
George Gobel show. Farina (now
touring with a small band), Al
falfa (he portrayed a 100-year-old
Indian in a recent Robert
Mitchum movie. "Track of the
Cat"). Darla Hood (now a singer)
and Jackie Cooper (still in show
business.)"
Graduates to Rooney
She then graduated to the
Mickey McGuire comedies star
ring MicKey Kooney. sniney
played Tomboy Taylor in a top
knot and plaid jacket for nearly
three years.
At 12 she was a dancer in such
musicals as "Meet the People."
She appeared in many Donald
O'Connor pictures. A year and a
half ago she began to train at
the Follies theater here as a
stripper, and since has toured the
country.
She is billed as "Gilda and
Her Crowning Glory" because as
she strips she lets her long
blonde hair fall below her waist.
"Many adults come backstage
after the show to get my auto
graph for their children who
watch the 'Our Gang' comedies
on TV," she smiled.
"I don't think the kids would
mind if they knew what I do. I
like burlesque. It's what a person
is, not what they're doing. There
are a lot of idiots who are secretaries.
Washington (U.R) The poster
in the sheriff's office said,
"Wanted by the FBI." The pic
ture it displayed was disturbing
ly familiar to a Midwestern
schoolboy who dropped into the
office on an errand. '
As he gazed at the picture he
realized that the fugitive, want
ed for armed robbery, was a
man who had worked on his fa
ther's farm until recently. The
youth called the nearest office of
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion. On the basis of his tip the
fugitive soon was tracked down,
tried and sent to jail.
Valuable Allies
This instance and others like
it have convinced the FBI that
alert boys and girls can be valu
able allies in law enforcement.
That conviction, in turn, has
been translated into a new 16
page booklet, prepared by FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover to ac
quaint American youngsters
with the history, functions and
some of the accomplishments of
the G-men.
The agency's role in protect
ing the national welfare in both
peace and war, against individ
ual law-breakers and highly
organized espionage and sabo
teur rings, is described in the
report.
Established in 1908 as the Bu
reau of Investigation of the De
partment of Justice the organiza
tion was politics-ridden for the
first 16 years of its existence. In
1924 its name was changed to
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and Hoover, then 29, was ap
pointed its director by Attorney
General Harlan J. Stone. Hoover
specified that the organization
was to be a career service, com
posed of agents chosen solely for
their ability and good character.
The FBI's rapid rise in pres
tige and efficiency thereafter
was stimulated by its struggle
against the big organized gangs
of the 1930's the booklet points
out. Notorious criminals had to
be tracked down and captured
in a relentless drive against
crime.
Nicknamed 'G-Men'
The infamous John Dillinger
fell in a Chicago gutter on July
22, 1934, the loser in a gun bat
tle with FBI special agents.
"Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Baby
Face" Nelson, the latter a killer
of five FBI-men, were also cor
nered and slain in the same year.
In the same gang-war era,
FBI agents got the nickname
"G-men." George "Machine
Gun" Kelly, wanted for kidnap
ing, had been traced to a house
in Memphis, Tenn. As agents
surrounded the house and order
ed Kelly to come out, the fright
ened gangster said, "Don't shoot,
G-men: don't shoot!" The name,
an abbreviation for government
men, has since become an un
official title for the FBI agents.
During the 1940's public
enemies of foreign origin occu
pied the FBI's attention, the
booklet says. Just before the out
break of World War II, German
I Theyll Do It Every Tiire
Bv Jimmy Hatlo
espionage activity increased
sharply in the United States. The
largest spy ring was headed by
Frederick Joubert Duquesne, a
a professional spy of 40 years'
experience.
One of the ring members was
Harry Sawyer, an American
citizen trained in Hamburg's
spy school. He was paymaster
for the spy network and had set
up a shortwave radio station for
communication with central
German intelligence. Contacts
were made without difficulty
and the radio station was beam
ing messages to Hamburg.
Message Cleared
One fact concerning this ar
rangement made the communica
tions of doubtful value to the
Germans, however. The station
was being operated by FBI
undercover agents and all mes
sages were cleared with U. S.
Army and Navy Intelligence.
Sawyer had informed the FBI of
his mission immediately on his
return from Germany.
The ringleader, Duquesne, was
completely fooled by Sawyer's
"double agent" deception, says
the report. Duquesne boasted to
Sawyer of his ability to dupe the
federal men and proudly dis
played secret plans for the M-l
rifle, torpedo boats and air
planes. When the network's out
lines were clearly revealed, the
FBI struck, arresting the 33 ring
members late in June, 1941.
More recently, the FBI has
battled Communist subversion.
Federal undercover agents have
joined the party, watched the
Communists' moves and arrested
scores of top party officials.
Example of Effectiveness
The Rosenberg atomic spy case
was an example of the FBI's ef
fectiveness in this fight, the
booklet says. Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, executed at Sing
Sing Prison for espionage in
June, 1953, were part of a large
Soviet spy ring attempting to
steal U.S. atomic and other de
fense secrets.
The booklet concludes with a
story about the significance of
the FBI motto "Fidelity, brav
ery, integrity" and the spirit in
which the federal agents do their
work
In Baltimore a G-man was
shot while attempting to arrest
a notorious criminal. Although
severely wounded, he emptied
his gun into the assailant. The
agent regained consciousness on
the operating table of a hospi
tal and asked about the crim
inal who had shot him. He was
told that the fugitive had been
killed on the spot. The agent
murmured. "May God have
mercy on his soul" as he
breathed his own last breath.

ister Anthony Eden returned to
London today full of praise for
President Eisenhower's positive
contribution to the Big Four con

vative party leaders on his "cau
tious optimism" over the inter

the conference. He met with
Cabinet members at 10 Downing
St., this morning following his
return from Geneva.
The Prime Minister was re
ported in favor of making a de

But he wants to delay a full
question and answer debate until
after the House returns from its
summer recess in the fall, diplo
matic sources said.
